"School" is a song co-written by Rick Davies and Roger Hodgson of British rock band Supertramp, and included in the band's third and breakthrough 1974 album, Crime of the Century, of which it was the opening track. It was later released as a single in 1983, backed with "Oh Darling", a track from their 1979 album Breakfast in America, and charted at number 27 in Netherlands in 1989. In 2020, the song peaked at number 1 as its highest radio airplay chart in Spain.
Hodgson stated that "'School was one of the songs that Rick [Davies] and I collaborated on. It was my song basically but Rick helped me with a lot of the lyrics. The piano solo was his, and it worked really well."
"School" became a live staple for the band, and was used to open their concerts, as seen in the albums Paris and Is Everybody Listening?. It's the third most played live song by the band. After Roger Hodgson left the band in 1983, the song entered in his repertoire, and he performed it on all of his solo tours.
"School" was well-received, despite not being one of their biggest charting hits. Besides its appearance on many live and compilation albums, Ultimate Classic Rock ranks the song 3rd among the band's top 10 songs. Ultimate Classic Rock critic Nick DeRiso called it a "jazz fusion-informed gem" with "free-form creativity and plaintive lyric (part nostalgia, part fitful rebellion)" and "stirring musical specificity (the vivid piano lead, the growling harmonica, the thudding bass)." Classic Rock critic Paul Elliott described "School" as having "melodic sophistication and powerful expression of existential angst. The Cecil Whig critic Kris Kielich rated "School" as the 4th best song about school, saying that "With this underrated Supertramp classic, Roger Hodgson sings about making sure the rules don't tie you down in life. It's not just about education, it's about education of life, which is what makes this song so enduring decades later."
Hodgson himself considers it as one of his 10 best songs.
